10 Video Game Side Missions That Let EVERYONE Down
6. Biggoron Sword - Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Admittedly, getting the Biggoron Sword on Ocarina of Time is probably worth your time and effort (it's actually stronger than the Master Sword). That, however, doesn't mean that actually getting the thing is enjoyable!
To get the Biggoron Sword, you're going to be going on a whistle-stop tour of Hyrule as you trade items back and forth between different characters. The Zelda series is not ashamed of the long and drawn out side quest, but this one really does take the cake.
It all begins with a pocket egg, found in Karakiro village. From there, the tasks ahead of you will have you traipsing literally from one side of Hyrule to the other, multiple times, often with ridiculous time scales involved. You'll be trading a series of items between people ranging from an Eyeball Frog to make Eye Drops to a Poacher's Saw which you'll give to a carpenter. Your final step is to give the eye drops to the giant Goron Biggoron, who is having irritated eyes because of a nearby eruption from a volcano.
After this massive series of steps, where you'll likely get to know every inch of Hyrule, Biggoron's Sword can finally be yours.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need a lie down just thinking about doing all that again.
